6. Variation in length of proteins by repeats and disorder regions
Abstract : Protein-coding genes evolve together with their genome and acquire changes, some of which affect the length of their protein products. This explains why equivalent proteins from different species can exhibit length differences. READ MORE

7. Evolutionary Genomics of Nematode-Trapping Fungi
Abstract : Nematode-trapping fungi are ubiquitous, soil-living organisms with the ability to infect and kill nematodes. These fungi have developed specialized infection structures for the capture of nematodes. READ MORE

8. Evolution of mate signalling in moths: Biosynthetic gene families and diversification of female sex pheromones
Abstract : Pheromones are intraspecific chemical signals serving as a ubiquitous form of communication, particularly among insects. Female sex-pheromone signals act as the core constituent in the specialized odour-mediated moth mate-recognition system. Female moths typically release multicomponent mixtures of alcohols, aldehydes or acetates. READ MORE

9. The Human Y chromosome and its role in the developing male nervous system
Abstract : Recent research demonstrated that besides a role in sex determination and male fertility, the Y chromosome is involved in additional functions including prostate cancer, sex-specific effects on the brain and behaviour, graft-versus-host disease, nociception, aggression and autoimmune diseases. The results presented in this thesis include an analysis of sex-biased genes encoded on the X and Y chromosomes of rodents. READ MORE

10. Pharmacokinetic consequences of CYP2D6 genotypes with emphasis on gene duplication / amplification
Abstract : The relationship between the major Caucasian and Oriental CYP2D6 genotypes and the disposition of two CYP2D6 substrates nortriptyline and debrisoquine was investigated. Caucasians with 0, 1, 2, 3/4 and 13 functional CYP2D6-genes as well as Chinese and Korean subjects homo- and heterozygous for the CYP2D6*1 and CYP2D6*10 alleles were included. READ MORE
